Ted Bishop was removed as president of the P.G.A. of America over remarks directed at Ian Poulter. Bishop was unhappy about comments Poulter made in his book about the Ryder Cup captaincy of Nick Faldo in 2008 and Tom Watson last month. Bishop referred to Poulter on Twitter as “Lil Girl.” On Facebook, he wrote that Poulter “sounds like a little school girl squealing during recess.” Bishop had one month left on his two-year term.
